One of my favorite things about going home to Florida is being welcomed by a tower of magazines. My mom saves my favorites and then I tend to sit on the couch in the Ladies Lounge and just binge-read. I’m talking about hours of flipping through the glossies, paper cuts, a stack of earmarked and torn…
I can’t believe how quickly June is flying by! I’m desperate to hang on to every minute of bright sunshine and warm air. When I lived in Massachusetts, Father’s Day always signified the end of school and the beginning of summer. I’m hoping to squeeze in a few trips home this summer to see my…
A few weeks back, I was debating on whether to get the hydrangea or the navy pajama set. As anybody (ha) would do, I turned to Twitter and it was pretty divided! I ended up going with the hydrangea… and let me tell you, I’m obsessed. It’s so perfect for the summer. (And I get…
Remember when we were in middle school and we would wake up one morning having grown three inches overnight? Weeks of growing pains and then finally, finally you’d wake up taller. I’m obviously not growing anymore (although I am very grateful for those extra three inches I managed to squeeze out during college!) in the physical…
Friday was such a rainy day. After only sleeping a handful of hours for the past few days, I just didn’t have the energy to put any thought into what I was going to wear. Plus, it was pouring out all day long. (Seriously, by 7pm it was like a tropical storm out there!!!) My energy…

Yep. Warby Parker is pretty much the coolest. So many cute new glasses in the collection. But I think my favorites are the Preston in Seaglass Blue and the Percey in Cream Soda. And sunglasses too!!! Wasn’t the video fun? What glasses/sunnies are your favorites? xoxo
It’s been quite some time since the last playlist! I’ve really been plugging into my work for long periods of time. I seriously couldn’t get through the days without Pandora and Spotify. No way. This is a much more mellow playlist, but it’s still upbeat! When I used to study, I would need to play…
It’s a party… in a box. Lauren Bosworth and Christianne Amodio has started an awesome company called Revelry House. Essentially… you purchase a box and inside is everything you need to throw an awesome party. It’s pretty awesome because at one point they were working out of Levo League’s office space. We always wondered what…
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
